Frequently Asked Questions

DraftFury is a U.S. based company that offers skill-based daily and weekly fantasy sports contests in all three major U.S. sports (MLB, NBA and NFL). Our rapid-fire contests are a much shorter duration than the traditional season-long leagues and require no team management after the draft. Our standard salary cap and pick'em draft formats take just minutes to complete, unlike the hours-long drafts in traditional fantasy leagues. We offer new contests every day of the season, and our winners are crowned nightly. Payouts happen immediately after the games -- no more waiting until the end of the season to collect your winnings!

All of DraftFury's contests operate legally under United States and Canadian law. The US government and 44 out of 50 states consider fantasy sports a game of skill. Please see https://www.draftfury.com/legal for more information, and contact us at legal@draftfury.com if you have additional questions.

DraftFury's free and paid-entry contests are available to everyone age 18 or older (with the exception of Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, and Washington residents who are not permitted to enter paid-entry contests due to their state's laws and regulations).

DraftFury offers the most fan-friendly contests, with new contests running every day. You can play whenever you want and as often as you want, without any season-long commitments. Our paid-entry contests give you the opportunity to win REAL CASH PRIZES!

As a general rule, DraftFury does not allow username changes. If you feel like you have a special circumstance or reason for necessitating a username change, please contact us at support@draftfury.com with the specifics of your request for our review. We will determine on a case-by-case basis whether to allow or deny your username change request.

Select Add Funds from the drop-down menu under My Account, or simply click on your account balance displayed at the top of every page. If it's your first time making a deposit, you must verify your email address prior to adding funds to your account. You may deposit using any of our available methods: PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express.

We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble making a deposit to your DraftFury player account.
Our payment processor is PayPal and once you are directed onto their payment page the transaction
is up to them to accept or decline. Please contact PayPal directly so they may assist you further.

Click on the Withdraw Funds button from the Account Details page. DraftFury's withdrawal policy is to refund via your original deposit method first. Any funds in excess of the original deposit(s) will be issued via PayPal; please contact support@draftfury.com if you would like your funds issued by check, or wire transfer (additional fees may apply).

DraftFury strives to process your withdrawals as quickly as possible. Withdrawal requests are typically processed by the end of the following business day. Weekends and bank holidays may delay your withdrawal request.

Absolutely! DraftFury is offering a generous LIMITED TIME bonus of 500% of your next deposit amount, up
to $500! We highly recommend that you deposit at least $100 on your next deposit to take full advantage
of this offer! Your deposit will be credited to your DraftFury player account, and your deposit bonus
will go into your Fury Bonus account which will be released incrementally as you play our paid-entry
contests.

DraftFury will incrementally release your Fury Bonus upon settlement of each paid-entry contest you
entered. As you earn the Fury Bonus, funds are automatically released from Fury Bonus to your account
balance, and are made available for play or withdrawal under the same terms as all funds in your
account. You can track released bonuses in your "Transaction History". Your remaining Fury Bonus
available to be earned is shown in your Account Details page as Fury Bonus (Pending). Fury Bonus never
expires.

Gradually releasing bonuses as you play prevents fraud against DraftFury and our players. Your
Fury Bonus is released as real cash at a rate of 4% of the entry fee of the contest you enter.
For example, if you enter a $25 contest, $1 of your Fury Bonus will be released into your main funds
account. DraftFury will release your Fury Bonus upon settlement of each paid-entry contest you enter.
If a contest or entry is cancelled, your entry fee will be refunded and no Fury Bonus is released.
Fury Bonus never expires.

In a Standard Salary Cap contest, each user is given $100,000 to create a lineup. DraftFury assigns each real-life player a salary commensurate with their anticipated performance. You must fill your lineup with players for each designated roster spot while staying at or under the $100,000 salary cap. There is an additional lineup restriction of not being able to pick more than four players from a single team.

In a Pick'Em contest, each user is given a number of groups. DraftFury assigns 5 players to each group based on their anticipated performance. You simply have to select one player from each group -- there are no salaries, positions, or other restrictions. DraftFury designed the Pick'Em contest concept to give casual fans a fast-paced game that is ideal for mobile or on-the-go, while retaining all of the excitement of daily fantasy sports.

In a Head-to-Head contest, you are playing against only one other opponent. The winner takes the entire prize (in the event of a tie, both users will split the prize pool). Head-to-Head contests are perfect for challenging your friends (or enemies!), mano-a-mano, without anyone else involved in the contest.

In a Guaranteed contest, DraftFury guarantees the prize pool. Even if the number of entrants in the Guaranteed contest does not cover the amount of money guaranteed, the contest will still run with an overlay (which simply means that the money guaranteed in contest prizes exceeds the amount covered by contest buy-ins). It is a great way for you to know the minimum prize pool in advance, no matter how many players enter the Guaranteed contest.

The Head-to-Head Opponent Limit setting (accessible by going to the My Accounts drop down menu and clicking on Account Details) is a feature that allows you to restrict the number of head-to-head contests that another user can join per contest type and per buy-in level. For example, if you create (5) $1 MLB salary cap contests, (5) $1 MLB Pick'Em contests, and (5) $3 MLB Pick'Em contests and set your Head-to-Head Opponent Limit to "1", then a single user can join no more than (1) of your $1 MLB salary cap contests, (1) of your $1 MLB Pick'Em contests, and (1) of your $3 MLB Pick'Em contests. NOTE: The Head-to-Head Opponent Limit setting only applies to contests that you create, and does NOT apply to auto-matched Head-to-Head contests.

You can edit your lineup at any point until the start of the contest by clicking on Lineups and clicking on Edit Lineup. Once the contest starts, you will be able to see your opponents' lineups and all players on your roster will be "locked in" (no longer changeable).

Players lock at the scheduled start time of the contest, regardless of when a delay is announced or whether a game is eventually postponed to a later date. You will continue to have the ability to swap out players before the contest start time. After a contest begins, your selected players are locked in and can not be swapped out even if a game is cancelled, postponed, or delayed.

In the event that your selected player does not play, that player will receive 0 points. You may swap out players before the contest start time. After a contest begins, your selected players are locked in and can not be swapped out even if that player is out, injured, or otherwise does not play.

You will find the Global Player Swap feature located at the top right of your Active Lineups and Upcoming Entries pages. If you click the Global Player Swap button, you will be able to quickly replace a single player across all of your current lineups for the upcoming contest schedule (such as in the case that you find out that one of your players has been ruled out for the game). Please note that the Global Player Swap feature is only for Standard Salary Cap contests and not for Pick'Em contests.

In a contest with a Top Heavy payout, typically the top 10-20% of contestants get paid, with the highest places paying out the highest prizes. For information on a specific contest please click on the contest in the lobby. The "Prizes" tab shows a detailed breakdown of the payout.

If there is a tie at the end of the contest, users included in the tie will evenly split the related prize spots. For example, if two users tie for 1st place, and 1st place pays $10 and 2nd place pays $5, we add the combined spots ($10 + $5) and then split that among the tied users. In the example, each user will receive $7.50.

Yes, you may unregister from unfilled contests at any time. You may also unregister from fully filled contests 15 minutes prior to contest lock (which is the start of the first game). However, you may NOT unregister from fully filled Head-to-Head contests. In order to unregister your eligible contest entry, go to your Upcoming Entries and click on Edit, and then on the Edit page click on Cancel Entry below your lineup.
